For Republicans, Mueller Investigation Motivation To Vote for Trump-Approved Candidates

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of the 2016 election is actually going to drive Republicans to vote this year for candidates endorsed by President Trump.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 31% of Likely U.S. Voters say the Mueller probe will make them more likely to vote this year for a candidate endorsed by President Trump, while just as many (32%) say it will make them less likely to vote for such a candidate. Another 33% think the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election will have no impact on their vote. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 1,000 Likely U.S. Voters was conducted on May 6-7, 2018 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
